LTI is a small  family-owned flexographic tag and label printer with a reputation for printing hard jobs

By Tom Polischuk

For example, LTI recently purchased a Kodak Flexcel Trendsetter digital platemaking system. With this new equipment, the company can print up to 200 line halftone screens giving its process color work a near photographic appearance, says Jim.

"We've built our business printing the hard jobs—challenging jobs that other printers were either unable to do or wouldn't do," he says. "We ended up buying a lot of equipment to produce all those demanding jobs, but in the long run, that has brought greater diversity to our portfolio of capabilities and products. And when the economy gets slow, it's really good to be diversified."
